I think your timescale is a little compressed - suppliers will produce parts for stock for a period, just so they can recover quickly if/when approval to fly is given. The difficulties will come when suppliers themselves start to run out of cash and their bankers will no longer support them against the promise of future business.

Failures will begin with smaller businesses and cascade upwards.
